As you read this book and the changes that are suggested, have students list the positives and negatives of the changes. Discuss why the changes would be good or bad, and talk about what can be done to make the negatives better.
Predicting the Future: Readers can predict what life will be like for kids their age in 20 years. They can also predict what it will be like for them as adults, as they will be adults in 20 years.
Writing a Log: Students can write a description of a day in their life, either using words or pictures. Every hour make an entry for 24 hours. Then write the same log for a child 20 years from now. What will be the same? What might be different?
